XANDERS POVI woke up that morning feeling a bit down. It had been five days since the scandal broke, and I had been going to Adeline’s place every single day. But she wouldn’t see me. The security man told me she had instructed that I never get in. I tried calling her, sending messages, but she still wouldn’t pick up or reply.The news about her allegedly trying to kill Sasha was still everywhere in the media. I groaned when I looked at my phone and the first thing that popped up was "Was Adeline really trying to push Sasha off a fifteen-story building?" I was tired of reading or seeing how everyone was bashing her. I knew she never did that.I had to speak to her today, I told myself, determined to see how she was coping with the house arrest.I got out of bed and dressed up. I chose a simple shirt and jeans, something comfortable but neat. I wanted to look approachable, not too formal, not too casual. I wanted her to see that I cared, that I was there for her.

SASHA’S POVI stood in front of the mirror, happier than I had been in years. The bright light above the mirror shone down on me, making my skin look perfect. I picked up a curling iron and started to curl my hair. Each strand of hair twirled around the hot iron, forming perfect curls. I smiled at my reflection, feeling a rush of joy.Adeline's downfall had made me the angel in the public eye. The public hated her now. She had been exposed as a fraud, and people couldn't stop talking about her scandal. I, on the other hand, was being praised. It felt like a dream come true.I gently ran my fingers through my hair, letting the curls fall naturally. I thought about all the media outlets that had been asking for interviews. They wanted to know how I felt about my sister Adeline trying to kill me and how I had been doing since the incident. But I had declined all their requests."It's family matters," I had told them. And they loved it. The news labeled me a queen who doesn't air fami

XANDER’S POVI sat at my desk in the study, holding the memory card from the recording pen. My heart pounded as I slotted it into the reader and connected it to my laptop. The screen flickered to life, and I was just about to press play when the door creaked open. I quickly closed the laptop, not willing to risk anyone finding out I had evidence to save Adeline.My mom walked in, her face softening when she saw me. "Xander, there you are," she said, her voice warm but tinged with concern."Mom," I greeted, trying to keep my tone neutral. I stood up, moving away from the desk to meet her.She crossed the room and hugged me tightly. "I've missed you," she said, her voice muffled against my shoulder. "I don't see you enough these days."I held her gently, feeling a pang of guilt. "I've been busy," I said, not wanting to elaborate. "There is a lot on my mind and there is so much work at the company."She pulled back slightly, looking up at me with those familiar eyes that held both love

The city lights blurred through the car window and I crossed my arms staring out, my mind replaying the scene with Xander over and over. How could he treat me like that? I deserved better.Tristan’s driving was fast and smooth. He didn’t say much, just kept his eyes on the road. After a while, I realized I had just followed him without asking where we were going. I turned to him and finally asked, “Where are we going?”He glanced at me, a sly smile playing on his lips. “You look like you could use some sex,” he said simply.I felt a rush of heat at his words. He had always been so direct. I smiled back at him. “I won’t argue with that,” I replied, feeling a thrill of excitement. Tristan’s obsession with Adeline annoyed me, but at that moment, I didn’t care. I wanted whatever Adeline had, even if it could be dangerous.

SASHA’S POVI took a taxi home. Embarrassed did not even begin to explain how I felt.The driver glanced at me through the rearview mirror a few times, but I kept my eyes down. I could feel my face burning with shame. Tristan had left me in the hotel room without any explanation whatsoever. He didn’t even bother to call and ask if I had gone home.The taxi drove through the busy streets, I replayed everything in my head. Tristan didn’t really care about anything or anyone. He was so nonchalant, seeing people as disposable. But when it came to Adeline, it was different. He was always in her business, always showing interest. Even though he wanted to ruin her, he saw her as a worthy opponent and I was jealous of that. To him, I was just a pawn that could be disposed of at any time. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms.The taxi stopped in front of Xander’s house and I paid the driver and got out, feeling the cold air on my skin.My steps were heavy as I walked to the

SASHA’S POVI sat across Xander at the long dining table. His mother, Mrs. Devon sat at the head, smiling warmly. The dining room was elegant, with soft, golden lights illuminating the room. The table was set with fine china and silverware, and the aroma of roasted chicken and fresh vegetables filled the air.We hadn't eaten together like this in a long time. I knew his mom must have emotionally blackmailed him to come home. Xander rarely came home for dinners or anything anymore.The silence was heavy as we ate. I glanced at Xander, who was focused on his plate, chewing slowly. Mrs. Devon tried to break the silence."Sasha, how is your work going?" she asked, her voice cheerful.I looked up and smiled. "It's going well, thank you. I've been busy with new projects."Xander didn't even look up. He stabbed a piece of chicken with his fork and stuffed it into his mouth. Mrs. Devon noticed his lack of response and tried again."Xander, how is work at the company? Anything new?" she aske

XANDER’S POVHow could I have been so blind? I almost married Sasha. Finding out how wicked she was made me question my choices.I needed to get out of the house. I grabbed my keys and headed for the door. Just as I reached for the handle, my mom stepped in front of me, blocking my way.“Where are you going, Xander?” she asked sweetly. “Won’t you join me for dinner?”“I don’t have time, Mom,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady.Her face fell, and she looked at me with sad eyes. “You haven’t had time for me lately, Xander. Can’t you spare a few minutes for your mother?”I sighed. I knew what she was doing, and it worked. “Alright, Mom. I’ll join you for dinner.”She smiled, and we walked to the dining room together. My heart sank when I saw Sasha sitting at the table, a smug look on her face. My mood darkened. This was why my mom insisted on me joining her for dinner. I sat down across from Sasha, trying to keep my composure.“How was work today, Xander?” Sasha asked, her voic

SASHA’S POVI entered the room and collapsed to the floor. What the hell was that? Xander just made it clear that he didn’t trust me. Does he know anything? There was no way he could have found out. It was just me and Adeline in that office, so there was no way he could have found evidence. Why did he have such an outburst?I sat there, breathing hard, feeling my heart race. The room was quiet, but my mind was loud and I was restless. I couldn't stay still.I got up and paced around, The more I thought about it, the more worried I became."Why did Xander act that way?" I muttered to myself. "He never behaved like this before."I walked to the window and looked outside replaying the scene in my head. Xander's angry face, his harsh words. It made no sense. He had no reason to doubt me. I had been careful, and didn’t let anything slip.I checked the clock. It was late, but I couldn't sleep. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable po

ADELINE’S POVI woke up that morning feeling groggy and a bit disoriented. The early morning light filtering through the curtains.I rubbed my eyes and stretched my arms. Just as I was about to drift back to sleep, my phone chimed. I picked it up, squinting at the bright screen.It was a text from Xander. The message read, "I've got the recording. I'll put it to good use. It's only a matter of time till you're out." My heart raced as I read the words. I closed my phone and took a deep breath, stretching my arms again."I know he'll do the right thing," I muttered to myself. But my mind was restless. I couldn't just lie there in bed. I needed to do something, anything, to calm my nerves.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up. The floor was cold beneath my feet. I grabbed my robe and wrapped it around myself. The house was quiet as I walked down the hallway to the kitchen.The smell of coffee always helped to wake me up, so I decided to make a pot. I filled the kettle
